The good folks over at IMPawards scored a look at the UK quad poster for EDEN LAKE today… and it’s lookin’ pretty sweet! Seriously, have you ever seen a more provocative poster? This poster screams “do you want to know more!” and the answer is “yes, yes I do!”
Accomplishing exactly what a poster is set out to do (intrigue and excite people enough to want to check the film out), the quad version does just that. And to appease you (the audience), I’m throwing in a brief synopsis for the flick, since you obviously want to know more after gazing at the above poster. So here it is:
Nursery teacher Jenny and her boyfriend Steve, escape for a romantic weekend away. Steve, planning to propose, has found an idyllic setting: a remote lake enclosed by woodlands and seemingly deserted. The couple’s peace is shattered when a gang of obnoxious kids encircles their campsite. Reveling in provoking the adults, the gang steals the couple’s belongings and vandalizes their car leaving them completely stranded. When Steve confronts them, tempers flare and he suffers a shocking and violent attack. Fleeing for help, Jenny is subject to a brutal and relentless game of cat-and-mouse as she desperately tries to evade her young pursuers and find her way out of the woods. Exhausted and distraught, she finally arrives back to the safety of the town. And meets the parents…
And I have a feeling, when she meets the parents, that’s when the fun really begins! Sounds f*ckin’ cool to me! To check out the full poster in all of its quad glory, click HERE, and get ready for EDEN LAKE in theaters… September 12th, 2008 (if you live in the UK). As for the rest of us, we’ll have to wait a little longer, as no date has been set yet.
